Engineering for the Community

'Community of Soundscapes' Project Creates Acoustic Map of Boulder's Sonic Environment Researchers at CU-Boulder's Center for LifeLong Learning and Design enlisted the help of 20 community volunteers, who recorded natural and urban sounds around the community using the center's digital recording devices or "sound cameras" outfitted with GPS mapping software.  More >>

The College of Engineering and Applied Science is a valuable resource for the entire community, supporting the state and local economies and helping to develop solutions to a range of community issues and problems.

You can read about some examples of community service projects undertaken by students and faculty, both near and far, in our annual magazine, CUEngineering:

• Architects and Engineers Work Together on Sustainable Building Design
   
• CADSWES Research Center Assists Colorado River Negotiations
   
• Environmental Engineering Students Use Skills to Assist Communities in Mexico and Colorado

The college also hosts many public lectures and symposiums (see Events Calendar), and the spring and fall ITL Design Expo, where members of the community can learn about engineering in a university setting. We welcome your participation in any of these events and hope you will make plans to visit us soon!
